Salsa, kayaking, bookstores

PaulH · 06-18-2003

I am a big Playa fan and will be heading down next week. This will be my eighth trip in ten years (last time was at Christmas), but this time I will be with my daughter, not my wife. Consequently, I am looking to do some different things. Of course, I know the seductive effect of the sun and margaritas, and I expect to slow down appreciably within a few days.

While still energized, we will be looking for some serious dancing including the Salsa, getting some kayaking lessons and finding a decent bookstore. Any suggestions on where to find these?

I usually stay at Rosa Mirador, down by the ******, but they do not seem to be operational. Does anybody know what is happening there? Where else would we find a hotel so close to the beach and the action that is clean and bright and under $50?

I would recommend following the announcement on the forum that asks to try a search. If you search for salsa dancing, you'll find lots of posts, one asking this very question a week or two ago. Once you've got a feel for what's already been posted, then your follow-up questions can pack more punch and we all learn more from a tighter forum. I found 10 posts after a search for bookstore.

Paul, less than a block away from the Rosa Mirador is a nice little hotel called the Tropical Casa Blanca. I stayed there in Feb. this year and the rate was 400 pesos a night. The rooms had new air conditioners and they also have a nice pool. At that time the Rosa Mirador was open.

You sound like a cool dad!

While you're pre-planning all the fun stuff, keep in mind that there's certain paperwork you'll need to be travelling with your daughter, sans wife. I think your has to sign a notarized letter releasing you to take your daughter into Mexico. The State Department website has info; also, I know it's been discussed on these forums, but I have no idea what you would search under; maybe "travelling with kids" or "Paperwork".

Have fun!

Thanks for the great feedback.

Teddy, I did find exactly what I needed for Salsa and Merengue and .. I feel the beat already.

Jesus, I will check out Hotel Casa Blanca. I never book till I get there so I can make sure they're not tearing up the street and that the room meets my needs (e.g., prefer open windows and breezes to A/C).

MWC, my daughter is over 21 so I am assuming that I will be OK. Thanks for thinking I am cool even though I am not.

Based on the responses and my searching it seems that kayaking and bookstores are not plentiful. :x

Whoever set up this website (and maintains it) deserves great accolades. Excellent job!
